Saw a question on Reddit on how to improve the Dualshock 4 next-gen and got heavily downvoted (nearing -100 right now) for suggesting that they ditch the non-removable battery and give us the option for a battery pack or AAs.
Right now PS4 uses a non-removable battery that lasts about 10 hours brand new. If it begins to die, you plug it into a USB to continue playing. It can also lose charge over time (I bought a new one after my old controller died after 4-5 hours). That's a new $60 controller.
Meanwhile my Xbox can use 20+ hour rechargeable AA batteries that cost $13 for a 4-pack. If it begins to die, you swap 2 out for 2 that you have on standby charging. Once they lose charge permanently, that's just another $13 for 4 more. It also has the option for the rechargeable Play-N-Charge battery pack.
